Writing

Hi darling!!

How are things¿? I'm very well and happy because last week it was my birthday and my father gave to me a gift, a very beautiful present. It's a book-->"Dead of a Beekeeper" by Lars Gustafsson.

I write this letter because I enjoyed this book a lot and I thought that you would love it, too. The plot is about one beekeeper that was married with a girl called Diana. They live in a small town called Timland and in ancient times there was a virus with all the animals that can fly. One day, Bem saw that his bees didn't make honey and he saw that they had a problem, they were infected by a virus and one of them bit his face and he has a big infection. For these reason he died.

Marta, it's a very nice book!!! I hope you love it. If you read it, send me a letter with your opinion.

A big hug and kss***

Seaweeds are some of the oldest living things on planet, and one of the few truly wild plants left. They are self-sufficient and a sustainable resource, and are chock-full of all the nutrients they nedd, wich happen to be pretty much all the nutrients we need.

A 2001 study by the "Universidad Compultense de Madrid" found that seaweeds contain all the essential elements the human body requires.

They're good for the immune system, cell reproduction and function and metabolism.
As ecologists and vegetarians, they were interested including seaweed in their own diet.
